Dumbledore mentioned in his history with Zhang Xu that before the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act came into effect, many wizards served the royal family and nobles in England.

The idea of "learning to become a scholar and a martial artist, and the goods and the emperor's family" is not only found in the East, but there are many wizards who follow the secular regime for various purposes.

And the royalty and nobles who know the role of wizards will not give up these useful subordinates.

At that time, there were very few people in society who could read, write, and count, and some nobles were even illiterate for generations.

The wizards were all highly educated at Hogwarts, all of them could write and count, and the illiterate ones had been blown up in Potions class before they graduated from Hogwarts.

These knowledgeable and literate wizards can also be used as senior advisors and clerks.

Not to mention the strength of a wizard, the beasts and bandits encountered in the territory, and sometimes a knight or two with those peasants with hoes and pitchforks is not as good as a wizard.

Especially hundreds of years ago, in the era of low medical care, having a wizard in the family who passed the Potions could increase the average life expectancy of the entire family by at least ten years.

In this way, he is both civil and military, a general, and an all-rounder who can also cure diseases, which nobleman doesn't like it.

At that time, the aristocracy had only two options for appointing literati, the priest of the church and the wizard who graduated from Hogwarts.

The problem is that there is a big boss above the priest, and the nobles can only be regarded as their second boss.

The nobles are not stupid, and when recruiting, they will definitely give priority to wizards who regard themselves as big bosses, not to mention the wizards' force value can shake off the priests who can only move their mouths.

However, the church that was robbed of its business naturally rose up and the witch hunt launched after fooling the people was successful, and later gave birth to the International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Law, and wizards began to hide.

For example, the Malfoy family, after the "Secrecy Act" came into effect, completely severed their association with Muggle society, and then killed and refused to admit that they had associated with Muggles, even if they were dumped by historians.

However, there are also wizards who did not break away from the British royal family and nobility after the Secrecy Act came into effect.

You said that I eat and drink spicy food next to the big boss, and there are people serving me every day, and the big boss will consider the suggestions carefully, why should I give up the job with little work, high salary, and great power, and hide in the ravine with you.

Hiding this aspect, hiding is impossible to hide, it is impossible to hide in this life. I don't know how to farm, only by working for the big boss, can I maintain my life like this, entering the noble castle feels like going home, and the feeling in the noble castle is much better than at home! It's all talented, and the maid is good-looking, I love it so much!

Although the royal family and nobles are openly afraid that the enemy's wizard will be unfavorable to them, the royal family and nobles are not stupid, and the best way to guard against the enemy wizard is that they also have wizards around them.

Just as the best way to prevent an atomic bomb from being dropped on one's head is to have one of them yourself, "wizarding deterrence" has meant that wizards have never really left Muggle society for hundreds of years.

Moreover, the witch hunt at that time could not control the heads of the royal family and nobles, and even if they found out, they would find a slave to blame, which was not a matter for the feudal lords.

Initially, the Ministry of Magic intended to use strong tactics against these wizards, but shortly after the implementation of the Secrecy Act, a major event occurred that forced the Ministry of Magic to compromise.

For a long time, the vast majority of wizards did not farm, graze, mine, or smelt, and their daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, cloth, porcelain, wood bricks, gold, silver, copper, and iron had to be purchased from Muggles.

Soon after the implementation of the Secrecy Act, wizards almost went into famine after completely cutting off all contact with Muggles, and the Ministry of Magic had to rely on wizards who had taken refuge in the royal family and nobility to establish communication and trade mechanisms with the Muggle government.

At the same time, these wizards take advantage of this to force the Ministry of Magic to admit that their actions are legal, or they will advise their bosses to double the price of food before selling it to the Wizarding Society.

In the end, the Ministry of Magic had to compromise with these wizards, as long as they didn't use magic in front of the common people, and the Ministry of Magic didn't care.

Since then, this group of wizards has lived beside the royal family and nobility.

Rejected by the wizarding community, the children of these wizards were unable to enter the Hogwarts system to learn magic, so they had to study at home with their elders.

As a result, the descendants of these families are not as well-rounded as Hogwarts graduates, but often outperform Hogwarts students in terms of family strengths.

Moreover, these wizards also take advantage of the wizarding society's exclusion and discrimination against Muggle-born wizards, and keep digging these into their own side.

Think about it, these Muggle-born wizards have been imperceptibly influenced by their parents for so many years, and when there is no hope of getting ahead in the wizarding society, someone suddenly gives you a job as a national civil servant, not only with less work and higher wages, but also to help introduce people, what do those wizards themselves think? What do the wizard's parents think?

Of course, I agreed.

With the addition of these new wizards, the wizards who have been separated from the wizarding society are not only replenished, but also indirectly learn the latest research results of Hogwarts.

During the colonial period, the wizards of the royal family and the nobility followed the colonists all the way to expand their territory and laid a great foundation for Galeries Lafayette.

However, after they rushed to the East more than a hundred years ago with the hope of making a fortune, many of them never returned, which greatly damaged the vitality of the wizards of their lineage.

This led to the fact that when Voldemort was making trouble in the seventies, they were at the forefront of the Cold War and could not draw their hands to deal with Voldemort.

At the Three Broomsticks Bar, Horatio Rodney and Zhang Xu talk about the history of their own family of wizards while drinking.

There are also some things that conflict with the Hogwarts account.

As for how much private goods his words mixed in, and finally sit back and see whether the reason why Voldemort became big is because of the Cold War, this kind of question will have to be explored slowly in the future.

A bottle of rum was drunk, and Rodney's story was finished.

Just now, Zhang Xu wanted to order a cup of Shirley for Rodney, but was despised by the other party.

"This kind of sugar water is only drunk by children like you, and as the children and grandchildren of Horatio Nelson and George Bridges Rodney, the soldiers of the Royal Navy disdain to drink sugar water."

So Zhang Xu simply asked for a bottle of "Nelson's blood", and the two drank it.

It's a pity that Zhang Xu didn't prepare black powder, otherwise he would have played a trick of the old navy in front of the old navy: mix rum with black powder, if the rum content is high enough, then the black powder soaked in rum can still be ignited.

You have a story, I have wine, your story is finished, and my wine is finished.

Horatio Rodney's mission for today's trip was successfully completed, and it was not good for him to stay on the territory of the Ministry of Magic any longer, so he finally said a few polite words to Zhang Xu before leaving.

And Zhang Xu sat in the bar for a while and waited for the alcohol to pass, so he could only go back to write a report and send it to his superiors.

As for Harry Potter, who was carried away earlier, Zhang Xu had long forgotten about him.
